2009 Mercedes-Benz SL Review from North America

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG 6.2L V8

Summary:

Faults:

The transmission gives off a gas escape noise at 3000 rpm under full acceleration all the time. The dealer is in contact with head office, as this issue is unheard of by them.

General Comments:

This car is fabulous and had has an amazing engine note, however even with 518 factory horsepower, giving 4.5 zero to 60 mph times (Mercedes claim), I strongly feel it is way too slow. That's my only complaint.

I had done a lot of research on edmunds.com and kellybluebook.com before going for a 2009 MERCEDES-BENZ SL63 AMG. I finally found a few of these cars under $15,000 on www.ipricecars.com, I have been using this car for over 1 year now and have not faced any issues. For me there was no noise, even at 3000 RPM.
